Brother PT-2600 Manual De Propietario

P-touch Editor 5.0 makes it easy for anyone to design and print more complex labels, for 
almost any needed imaginable.
See the P-touch Editor Help for samples of various kinds of labels and details on 
creating, printing, and saving the labels. The following is the example for Windows 
Vista

®

.

Since some P-touch Editor 5.0 functions are not available with the P-touch labeler 
machine, keep the following points in mind when using P-touch Editor 5.0 to create 
templates.

☞ Since only the Helsinki font is available on the P-touch labeler machine, the font used to 

print the text may be different from the font selected for the template in P-touch Editor. 
In addition, since the size of all text on the P-touch labeler machine is set to AUTO, the 
text size may automatically be reduced. We recommend using the Helsinki font installed 
with P-touch Editor for best results when creating labels.

☞ Although character styles can be applied to individual characters with P-touch Editor, 

styles can only be applied to a line of text with the P-touch labeler machine. In addition, 
some character styles are not available on the P-touch labeler machine.

☞ Unlike from P-touch Editor, the P-touch labeler machine cannot print underline or 

strikeout characters.

☞ Only the first 999 rows of a database linked to a template are read by the P-touch labeler 

machine.

☞ Only the first line of text typed into a database field is read by the P-touch labeler 

machine. Therefore, if you wish to print from a database with more than one line of text, 
create the template and database with separate fields for each line of text.

☞ Some characters available with P-touch Editor are not available with the P-touch labeler 

machine.

☞ Bar codes specified with settings not compatible with the P-touch labeler bar codes 

settings will not print correctly.

☞ A template created with P-touch Editor should have a fixed length with a maximum of 

40" (1 m).

☞ The template and database should be created so that no more than approximately 500 

characters per label will be printed.

☞ Fields that extend out of the print area may not print completely.

☞ A numbering field specified with P-touch Editor will not transfer and is not compatible 

with the Numbering function on the P-touch labeler machine.

☞ Backgrounds specified with P-touch Editor are not compatible with the P-touch labeler 

machine.

☞ Time and date objects using the “At Printing” setting on P-touch Editor will not be 

printed.
